Trubisky is so inconsistent -- he can have good days and terrible days. I recall Stafford playing like that too, and changes in OC's gave results that either buoyed or sunk his performance. I'd rank Stafford above Trubisky though. By the middle of Year 3 (or in the 28-35 games played range) they should know what they have in a QB, and while I think Trubisky has talent and tools to work with, time is almost up on him becoming an elite franchise QB.
Nagy ignoring the running game is puzzling to me, especially since they traded a decent one (Jordan Howard), drafted a new one (Montgomery) who wore down Big12 defenses, and they still have Tarik Cohen for gadgets. With that defense they could be grinding out wins by running the ball and using some trickery and play action. They played a last-place schedule last year, forced an unusual amount of turnovers, and had reasonably good injury luck...it's not a shock that they are reverting to the mean somewhat and struggling for it.
